(NYSE:OIS) Even After 26% Share Price Boost > Oil States International, Inc. (NYSE:OIS) saw a 26% increase in share price over the last month, but remains down 4.4% over the past year. The company's price-to-sales (P/S) ratio stands at 0.4x, below the industry median of 0.7x, raising concerns about its revenue performance. Despite a projected revenue growth of 3.9% next year, skepticism among shareholders is evident, as reflected in the P/S ratio. Analysts suggest that uncertainty around revenue forecasts may be impacting the share price, which could be higher given the positive outlook. **Oil States International, Inc.** (NYSE:OIS) shareholders are no doubt pleased to see that the share price has bounced 26% in the last month, although it is still struggling to make up recently lost ground. But the gains over the last month weren't enough to make shareholders whole, as the share price is still down 4.4% in the last twelve months. Although its price has surged higher, there still wouldn't be many who think Oil States International's price-to-sales (or "P/S") ratio of 0.4x is worth a mention when the median P/S in the United States' Energy Services industry is similar at about 0.7x. Although, it's not wise to simply ignore the P/S without explanation as investors may be disregarding a distinct opportunity or a costly mistake.

View our latest analysis for Oil States International ### How Has Oil States International Performed Recently? Oil States International hasn't been tracking well recently as its declining revenue compares poorly to other companies, which have seen some growth in their revenues on average. It might be that many expect the dour revenue performance to strengthen positively, which has kept the P/S from falling. You'd really hope so, otherwise you're paying a relatively elevated price for a company with this sort of growth profile. Keen to find out how analysts think Oil States International's future stacks up against the industry? In that case, our **free** report is a great place to start. ## Do Revenue Forecasts Match The P/S Ratio? Oil States International's P/S ratio would be typical for a company that's only expected to deliver moderate growth, and importantly, perform in line with the industry. Retrospectively, the last year delivered a frustrating 9.0% decrease to the company's top line. This has soured the latest three-year period, which nevertheless managed to deliver a decent 12% overall rise in revenue. So we can start by confirming that the company has generally done a good job of growing revenue over that time, even though it had some hiccups along the way. Shifting to the future, estimates from the four analysts covering the company suggest revenue should grow by 3.9% over the next year. With the industry only predicted to deliver 1.6%, the company is positioned for a stronger revenue result. With this in consideration, we find it intriguing that Oil States International's P/S is closely matching its industry peers. Apparently some shareholders are skeptical of the forecasts and have been accepting lower selling prices. ## The Key Takeaway Its shares have lifted substantially and now Oil States International's P/S is back within range of the industry median. We'd say the price-to-sales ratio's power isn't primarily as a valuation instrument but rather to gauge current investor sentiment and future expectations. We've established that Oil States International currently trades on a lower than expected P/S since its forecasted revenue growth is higher than the wider industry. When we see a strong revenue outlook, with growth outpacing the industry, we can only assume potential uncertainty around these figures are what might be placing slight pressure on the P/S ratio. This uncertainty seems to be reflected in the share price which, while stable, could be higher given the revenue forecasts. And what about other risks?
